    The second I saw the blue yarn I bet to myself that’s the one that you would pick 😂 but when you went with the pink I was surprised and a little disappointed. It’s a lot of hard work pulling all the pink out to start over But now I’m proud and vindicated since you switched and ultimately went with the blue anyway 🤣🥳🥳

      The blue was my gut choice and then I contradicted myself because I thought about it for so long 😂 Moral of the story, go with your gut

    When you first showed the yarn choices I was screaming BLUE!! I was a little surprised you went with the pink because it looked so muted. I'm not sure I would have been able to start over after how far you got, but really happy that you did the blue contrasts so well with the yellow of the blanket!!

    i love how you show the entire process of your project, including when you decide to go back and redo something. it's really encouraging to watch a talented and prolific crafter like you make mistakes and alter your work. it makes me feel better about having to undo half of the crochet project i was working on for hours because i realized i was crocheting too loosely and it made it get too wide

    Jack is so cute!!! Small dogs do not like the snow touching them when they use the bathroom. My rat terrier didn’t even like to get her paws wet! We had to clear a spot in the yard for her. That might be an idea for Jack. Just clear a spot so the snow doesn’t touch him.
    Love the hand sewing idea.

    Have you tried a little patch of fake grass inside for Jack? You could put a pee pad under it so it would be easy to clean. I used to have a wiener dog who refused to pee in the rain and I ended up having to put a little patch of fake grass on my patio where the rain didn't hit for him. Love that you took him to the vet to find out he is just holding his pee, I once paid several hundred dollars at the vet (same dog) to find out that he was not losing his hearing, he was just ignoring me lol!

    • @JennaPhipps
      @JennaPhipps  Рік тому +43

      I filmed this a couple weeks ago now but once the snow went away, he actually started peeing normally outside again 😂. The cold and snow I guess was a big shock for him as well as having a new home. But he did got 3 full days of only peeing once a day, so that really scared me. Legit once every 24 hours on the dot.
      Jan 4th update: HE'S POTTY TRAINED NOW AND PEES REGULARLY 🙏

    Was just looking at An-Erin pattern yesterday to use an old Pendleton blanket on. Your coat came out perfectly...10/10! BUT...I think you need to make two puppy coats the same way because your fur babies need to wear SOMETHING in that cold weather. We live on the Washington coast and winters have lots of cold rain and out Jackwawa hates it. We and him are transplants from Calif., and he holds it forever because he hates the cold rain. We got a "craft show" canopy and put it up in our backyard and he now is fine "going" under it. It has sand bags to keep it from flying into the ocean on a windy day. I bet you see the blanket stitch in your sleep! Congrats on your coat!!

I have some vintage cream colored boiled wool and hibiscus pink embroidery thread. I haven't started yet because frankly I'm terrified. I've never sewn anything before, not even a button. Why I thought I could do this is a mystery. Seeing your video is very encouraging even though you make everything look easy and I'm not as talented as you at fiber arts. A rambling way to say thanks for the video. Now to summon up my courage.😁
